Caroline Polachek Boyfriend Matt Copson Is A British Born Artist Based In LA

Caroline Polachek boyfriend Matt Copson is a London-based artist. Matt started dating Caroline after her divorce from Ian Drennan in 2017.

Polachek is a popular American singer, songwriter, and producer who has been active since 2005. She first gained prominence in the late 2000s through her work in the indie-pop outfit Chairlift.

In Chairlift, Polachek served as the singer alongside Aaron Pfenning, who provided the backing instrumentals. The band had a sleeper hit in the form of the song “Bruises.”

The band was active from 2005 until 2017 but Polachek had started moving towards making solo music much earlier. She initially started making music under pseudonyms like Ramona Lisa and CEP throughout the early 2010s but after the band’s dissolution, she began to make music in her own name.

She released her debut album “Pang” in 2019 to great critical acclaim and even scored a viral song when, “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings” went viral on TikTok. Since then, Polachek has been working to release her new album sometime this year.

Polachek is also popular for collaborating with various other artists like Christine and the Queens and Charli XCX.

Matt Copson Is A British Artist

Caroline Polachek boyfriend Matt Copson is a British-born artist based in London. Matt makes high-concept art and also directs her music videos.

Born in 1992, Copson is seven years Polachek’s junior and was raised in Oxford, England. He has been active in the London art scene since 2014 professionally, and much earlier as an amateur.

To date, the artist has been a part of twenty-two group exhibitions and twelve solo exhibitions. His exhibitions have taken him to many different European countries ranging from expected abodes of art and culture like Paris, France to lesser-known hubs like Belgrade, Serbia.

As high-concept art, his work revolves around making sharp, contrasting images born from childhood and putting them against or mixing them with the bizarre. For example, his 2021 exhibition titled “Of Coming Age” featured laser animation of children set to an intense, lopped audio soundtrack.

Copson is affiliated with the High Art Gallery which is headquartered in Santa Rosa, California but has works representing over 140+ countries. The gallery was established in 2014, right around the time Copson started his professional career.

Collaboration with Caroline

However, for Polachek fans, Copson is best known as the person behind the singer’s music video aesthetics. The singer has often been lauded for her keen eye when it comes to graphics both in her album and single art alongside her music videos, and Copson has a lot to do with those features.

The artist has been working with his lover since 2019 and first provided the visuals for the lead single of her debut solo album. Since then, Copson has co-directed and edited almost every single music video the singer has released in her solo career.

Their relationship has become a nice melting pot of ideas because Polachek’s lyrics and vocals perfectly fit the bizarre and childishly abrasive world that Copson has created in his own artworks.

Aside from his artwork and visuals for Polachek, Copson has also created, written, and worked on an Opera called “Last Days” which premiered on October 2022.

Caroline Polachek And Matt Copson Dating Life

Caroline and her lover Matt have been working together since 2019. Their professional relationship soon evolved to become a romantic one.

The first time Copson was stated to be Polachek’s lover was in an article by The New Yorker. However, the singer herself has neglected to talk about the relationship herself be it in interviews or on her own social media pages.

Her previous relationship was a very public one which resulted in a highly publicized wedding and an equally publicized divorce. In order to make sure that the same doesn’t happen with her current relationship, Polachek has been mum about all aspects of her private life outside of her music.

But Copson has found his own way to celebrate the relationship he has with his partner, as his Instagram page is a mural for Polachek’s artistry and the love they share.

Matt Copson Age Difference With Caroline

Caroline is seven years more senior than her artist partner Matt. She was born on June 20, 1985, while he was born in 1992.

Polachek is 37 years old as of the writing of this article while Copson has recently hit 30. However, their age is not the only difference that the two have.

As stated above, Copson is British and was born in Oxford while currently residing in London. Polachek on the other hand was born in Manhattan, New York City, and raised for much of her youth in a fairly suburban town in Connecticut called Greenwich.

She spent much of her youth and early adulthood in New York and even moved there with her ex-bandmate to pursue music.

Caroline Was Previously Married To Ian Drennan

Caroline Polachek Husband Ian Drennan is also a musical artist. The two were married from 2015 to 2017.

Drennan started his music career as a member of the Indie Pop band, Big Troubles in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Alongside fellow guitarist Alex Craig, drummer Sam Franklin, and bassist Luke Usmani, the band released two albums and two EPs.

However, despite the early buzz, the band never caught on, and Drennan started focusing on his solo music from 2012 onward. His solo music is vastly different than his work with his band as it features ambient sound tapes in the style of Musique Concrete.

Marriage With Caroline

Caroline and Ian got married in 2015 with a wedding covered by Vogue magazine. They got married in a garden inspired by Chinese architecture.

The wedding was photographed by acclaimed Vogue photographer Noah Rabinowitz while the couple was married by Polachek’s opera teacher. 

Caroline and Ian Divorce

Caroline’s marriage to Ian would be short-lived as the couple divorced within two years. Neither party has talked about their reasoning.

After their divorce, Drennan left all semblance of celebrity and disappeared from the public eye. On Polachek’s end, the most she has said of the divorce is that it happened because she was at a low point during her life back then.

The divorce deeply disappointed Polachek’s mother and even split her friend group. But seeing how successful Polachek has become since then and the wealth of creativity her collaborations with Copson have been, it’s hard to disagree that she made the right decision.
